Relax! Ramaphosa likely to reshuffle cabinet after the end of the month, says Mashatile: President Cyril Ramaphosa is likely to make a decision on a cabinet reshuffle after the end of the month, ANC deputy president Paul Mashatile told the media this week.
Ramaphosa is expected to axe some ministers who did not make the new NEC cut and introduce newcomers to the structure.
Mashatile said the reshuffle will be necessary because some members may leave, including secretary-general Fikile Mbalula. “The secretary-general has to be full time at Luthuli House, so at some point he has to leave. The president will then begin to look at what to do next, but we thought we shouldn't rush to make changes before we finalise our plan,” Mashatile added.
Speaking at the ANC’s presidential golf day in Mangaung, Free State, Ramaphosa said he would not give in to media pressure to reshuffle cabinet. “That is the most pre-eminent thing in your thoughts. Just obliterate that and wait for the moment when the president has applied his mind and stop asking when that is going to happen.
